Who on this forum hasn't gotten CLL yet; but is planning to?

Edit Post

I'm thinking about it, but I'm far from taking a decision. I am considering few doctors in Europe and I am scared as hell of the general anesthesia (which is the only reason why I'm not planning it yet). I wish scientists found a way to reopen growth plates through stem cells but we may be 10-20 years away from that. Such a pity the only way to achieve our goal is a medieval-style surgery.

@Kenda
I wish lol.
I'm taking into consideration potential complications and living expenses. I'll probably stay in the country that does the surgery for a few months -at learnt until lengthening is done.
From what I've read minor to medium level complications are pretty common.

On second thoughts maybe £30,000 should suffice. I'll let others here have some input on that.

me
I'm actually working a bit to save let's say 25k and do the procedure in Italy

I'm not too sure how much accommodation in Athens is, hopefully it's not too much ,but it's integral you keep money by for potential complications I read a study where at least mild complications that are easily fixed occur in about 60% of people. It's best to bear in mind that this study was for Illazarov method so I don't know what it would be like for LON. Just don't take any chances and assume things will go well.

Greece is relatively pretty cheap in accommodation compared to other places

I may do this surgery next year. I don't know which doctor yet. My goal is 6cm femur with stryde. If I don't have any complication and have a fast recovery, I may do 5cm tibia (stryde) later. I'm 1,68m. My initial goals were higher.

planning to do tibias around 3-4 cm in 2 years
currently only 25 years old
